Errors are not necessarily caused by heat, probably more a controller or firmware issue, which will present identically if you restart the reshaping process. Also, this kind of issues on my 3ware controller are harmless. You could better ask this to SCSI people, but there are up to 5 retries (for EACH scsi command) by the scsi layer after these resets happen. Stopping the reshape is much more risky imho.
